Who studies Xing Yi Quan here?
Hello I was just curious to see who all the practicioners of xing yi quan here and what style of it you study under what lineage? Also what style did you come from or what drew you to xing yi? After the recent light now shining on Baji and it becoming seemingly more popular, it almost seems like xing yi is one of the lesser trained styles unless its along with bagua at the same school.
I did xingyi for a spell under Master Tony Chen
I loved it. Sadly (for me) Sifu Tony moved on, so I haven't done much with it since.
I wrote a few articles on it at the time:
Serpent Power: The Slinky Qi of Snake Style in Hung Gar, Taiji and Xingyi 2001 March/April
Chicken Fu - The Underrated Animal of Xingyi 2003 July/August
Xingyi's Dadao: The Lost Legacy of the Big Blade Troop 2006 March/April
The Traditional Art of 5 Elements Long Pole 2006 May/June
We even did a Special Xingyi Issue - 2008 November/December
I think that's all that I've written personally, but there may be more. There's a lot that other people have written for us over the years.
Tony has been promoting fights in China
So no, he doesn't teach anymore. :(
